She'll be comin' round the mountain

Yesterday, my mum and I took a lovely day trip into Asheville. If you're every in NC, I must recommend venturing into the mountains to visit the city! It has so many great, random places. The town is very artistic. So many great little shops, restaurants, and museums!
We started the day off at an organic Southern cuisine restaurant called Early Girl Eatery. Delicious.
My leftovers rode home in a cute little recycled cardboard box.


We stopped at True Confections for a sweet end to our lunch. Mango sorbet and caramel cheesecake. Um, yes, please!
Lexington Ave. is the place to go! So many unique clothing,art, vintage, book, and music shops. We found a fun photo opp at this old fashioned iron sculpture.











































We ended the day by seeing Away We Go at The Carolina theatre. A great experience and an excellent movie. Highly recommend viewing it! I didn't make out with any sartorial finds, but I didn't come home empty handed. Art supplies and a Metro Pop magazine along with a few birthday gifts for some friends were my catches of the day.

SPF (Summer Party Fashion) 100

Photos from the poolside Summer Soiree at the Ballantyne Hotel in Charlotte. There was a small fashion show with swimwear from local designers and Tiffany and Co. jewelry. I snapped a few of the most stylishly dressed fashionistas.

All mixed up

First off: Shout out to SCAD Honeybees for their photo with the Toledos and blurb in Vogue. Pick up the July issue for a closer read!

Next up on the menu: A couple of amazing looks from designer Roksanda Ilincic's Resort 2010 collection. Asymmetry and a gorgeous satin gown is all I need!

And to finish off, a little update on my internship. I'm currently working on a logo for the designer and tomorrow I will attend the Summer Soiree Dress for Success fundraiser/fashion show. I'm excited and nervous because designers and press for Charlotte Fashion Week will be there! I'll post an update Friday on how things went!
